It goes without saying that effective treatment must follow a correct diagnosis. There are a number of steps that can be taken to alleviate the symptoms and treat them effectively. You should discuss treatment options with an eye care specialist. Treatments for dry eyes may include:

Artificial Tears

Lubricating Ointments

Tear Duct Plugs

Antibiotics

Hot Compresses

Steroid Drops

Eyelid Scrubs

Restasis Drops

Nutritional Supplements

Changing Medications

Lacrimal Gland Probing

Meibomian Gland Probing

Antihistamines (allergic dry eye)

and many others…

Given the large number of possible causes and treatments, varying degrees of effectiveness and the need to avoid a “try this-try that approach”, it is very important that patients receive a comprehensive eye exam and correct diagnosis to avoid ineffective treatment, wasted time and expense.
